The numbers illustrate the trend of attackers turning their focus away from operating systems and toward applications, Kandek said.

They don't mention any evidence for this... is it true?

Code:

"Operating systems have become more stable and harder to attack and that's why attackers are migrating to applications, he said. "Adobe is a huge focus for attacks now, around 10 times more than Microsoft Office.

Microsoft Office isn't an operating system... and since when was it a huge focus for attacks? The focus used to be Windows via Internet Explorer._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Yes: "don't use GPL software, they'll actually confess to all the bugs when they fix them".
I want to hear from someone who's actually suffered from one of these vulnerabilities in Firefox being exploited..._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Although they don´t mention any evidence, in Windows side is totally clear that focusing in Internet Explorer is a fast way to attack the Operating System (as you already pointed), IE is integrated in Windows kernel making it the big gate for any attack.

With that in mind Microsoft had doing many changes to IE security, many features are default disabled and many program Permissions blocked. I must add that with default settings I can´t use IE for many enterprise Web applications. The worst thing is I Usually have to force the lowest security setting to make things work, even setting a trusted site is not enough for single signon authentication or Scripts executions. I don´t have such problems with Firefox.
